Here's a fun activity if you have a whole lot of old broken crayons you don't have the heart to throw away. Remove all of the paper, mix up the colours and put them into cupcake tins. Bake at 275 degrees F for 7-8 minutes and voila! Below, you'll see the marble crayon pucks that come out of the oven. Kids can use these pucks for colouring, or as blocks. For complete instructions, visit http://thriftedtreasure.blogspot.com or http://www.makeandtakes.com/recycled-chunky-crayons My four-year-old is excited about this activity and is sifting through his big tin of crayons as I type. * Kids, don't forget to ask an adult for help before using the oven! Have fun.
